Maths tutor jobs in Port Blair (Sri Vijaya Puram)

NXTutors matches requests; it does not post vacancies. A parent sends the class, medium and locality, and we suggest two or three tutors, checking that locality first, then its zone, the city and online. The parent sees each fee before booking a free first demo. You choose your classes and localities, decide whether to teach online, and set your own fee.

Class 10 is the busiest maths year. CBSE's 2026-27 curriculum divides the 80 theory marks across seven units: algebra 20, geometry 15, trigonometry 12, statistics and probability 11, mensuration 10, and number systems and coordinate geometry 6 each, with 20 more for internal assessment. The board paper has 38 questions in five sections, ending with case-study questions. Algebra alone is a quarter of the paper, and geometry and trigonometry together carry 27 marks where proofs and diagrams decide the score. Every student sits a main Class 10 exam, and a student who passes may take a second to improve up to three subjects. Government CBSE schools in the Junglighat & Central Localities zone mean Class 9 and 10 board practice is a regular need there.

Class 12 maths brings the senior students, especially around School Line and Prothrapur, where senior secondary schools offer Classes 11 and 12. The 80-mark paper has 38 compulsory questions, and calculus carries 35 of those marks, with vectors and three-dimensional geometry worth 14, so families want calculus started early and returned to often. Some students also prepare for JEE Main, whose 2026 Paper 1 set 25 maths questions, twenty with options and five with a numerical answer, with a mark lost for each wrong option answer. Because a specialist for advanced work may not live nearby, online lessons often carry this part.

Middle-school requests, Classes 6 to 9, are about the foundations that show up later: fractions and the order of operations in Class 6, negative numbers and simple equations in Class 7, ratio, percentage and expressions in Class 8, and proof writing in Class 9. Class 9 also has an optional Advanced paper of 25 marks alongside the common paper, and a parent may ask whether the child should attempt it. For many families the real worry is language: a child who knows the method can freeze when a question is worded in English.

The city falls into three zones, and a maths tutor can usually build a round inside one. Aberdeen & Old Town takes in Aberdeen Bazaar, Phoenix Bay and Haddo; some homes sit above shops or in lanes off the bazaar, so ask for the lane name and a landmark, plan lessons before the evening shopping crowd, and keep away from ship departure times at the Phoenix Bay jetty. Junglighat & Central Localities covers Junglighat, Delanipur, School Line, Dairy Farm and Bathubasti, a mix of family houses, government quarters and, around the Bathubasti bazaar, multi-storey apartment buildings; get the block or flat number and parking advice before the demo.

The Expansion Villages, Dollygunj, Garacharma, Prothrapur, Brookshabad and Austinabad, are the growing edge of the city, where many homes are houses on their own plots and newer lanes are hard to trace without a map pin. From the centre, a practical offer is fixed days for home visits there plus online classes, which also keeps lessons going through the monsoon. Online teaching lets you reach students in other parts of the islands, and anywhere in India.

• Confident CBSE maths teaching from NCERT, with the current sample papers and marking schemes from cbseacademic.nic.in.
• Ability to explain in the student's medium, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu or Bengali, while written answers stay in the language of the paper.
• A two-column glossary habit: each new maths term in the school's language beside its English form.
• Slow, careful reading of word problems, underlining what is given and what is asked before any working.
• For Class 10, weekly algebra and full, step-by-step geometry proofs with labelled diagrams.
• For Class 12, calculus started early, with JEE-style practice in separate sessions only for students who need it.
• A timetable that respects bazaar evenings, ship days and monsoon weeks, with online sessions as the fallback.

Your profile should answer the medium question at once. State the CBSE classes you teach, every language you can explain maths in, and the localities you can reach, for example Haddo and Aberdeen Bazaar, or Delanipur and School Line. If you take JEE students, say so; if you prefer Classes 6 to 10, say that. Families here weigh a tutor who can explain in their child's language very heavily.

In the demo, take one recent test and find where marks went: method, arithmetic or reading the English of the question. Fix one thing, start the glossary with the child, and set out one solution the way the marking scheme expects. Offer the days you can keep through the monsoon, suggest online sessions for weeks when travel is hard, and see how you get paid before agreeing a timetable. A parent can change tutor without cost, so steady lessons are what keep a student.
